If I focus strictly on the quality of the dental work itself, I was satisfied. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience with this office was overshadowed by serious concerns about their business and billing practices. Several months after my treatment, I was contacted and told that my insurance had denied the claim and that I now owed over $1,200 in additional charges, on top of the $700 I had already paid as a copay. After investigating with my insurance carrier, I learned that the denial occurred because the office failed to obtain a required prior authorization. Under the provider's contract with my insurance, for the procedure I received, my patient responsibility was $0. In other words, I did not legally or contractually owe anything beyond what insurance covered. Despite this, the office aggressively attempted to collect additional payment from me. Because my patient responsibility was zero, the $700 I paid was an overpayment that was only refunded after continued dispute. According to my insurance carrier, these collection attempts constituted a violation of the provider's contract. It was deeply troubling to be pressured to pay for a mistake that was not mine. I carry insurance specifically to avoid situations like this, and it is unacceptable for a provider to shift their administrative errors onto patients. While the clinical care was fine, I cannot recommend this office due to its handling of billing issues. Patients should be able to trust that insurance is processed correctly and that they will not be pressured into paying charges they do not owe.

Called and told I could simple leave work and drive an hour back to their clinic and they would put another temp filling in. Refused to take my insurance cards when I checked in stating "we have all that," yet I had never provided. Then they billed my policy under a made up name. (made up my husbands name, and I was the policy holder.) so not only refused to take insurance cards, then didn't read the paperwork I filled out and just made up the information. Waist of my time.
